STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance Charitable activities

REFUGE

During the year 2023-24, we received 80 referrals for women seeking refuge space, we were able to accommodate 26 women and 19 children who were referred to us in Llanelli. Where we are unable to offer space within Llanelli refuge, we look for space in an alternative refuge, if appropriate.

Risk and needs assessments are carried out and the family is supported to settle into refuge. Whilst in the refuge women are supported and encouraged to develop independent living skills and build up their self-esteem and confidence. Each woman's needs are unique, and she will be supported in line with her own needs assessment through a support plan using SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time specific) goal. The achievements are monitored regularly and acknowledged. This could involve accompanying her to see solicitors, doctors, probation officers, social workers, advocacy etcetera.

Expertly trained members of staff will carry out various training including life skills such as budgeting, healthy eating, menu planning, sexual health, plus many more structured and directional activities to help in her self-development and to live independently. Threshold also continued to deliver the Freedom Programme online and or in person. We also offer a wide range of qualifications, accredited units and modules to those living in our refuge.

COMMUNITY FLOATING SUPPORT

During the year 2023-24 we received 432 referrals for long term and one-off floating Support within Threshold DAS Limited and 872 referrals county wide of which 27 were from males. Each service user has a needs assessment, and, from this, a support plan is formulated and agreed. Threshold received 338 referrals for outreach. The support can cover a variety of issues including housing, benefits, debts, legal, health and children's issues. A referral can be made to one of our Children and Young person's projects should the child or young person need more specialist support.

The service user can be signposted to appropriate agencies, for example education, police and social services, etc. The Floating Support Project is a county wide project in Carmarthenshire between Calan DVS, Carmarthen Domestic Abuse Services Limited and Threshold DAS Limited, and is managed by Threshold DAS Limited and overseen by a steering group.

IDVA Project - Disseminated via Calan DVS Lead from Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner OPCC

The main purpose of independent domestic violence advisors (IDVA) is to address the safety of victims at high risk of harm from intimate partners, ex-partners or family members to secure their safety and the safety of their children.

This two-year project started in April 2023. The end of this financial year saw the preparations and start-up costs in readiness.

PEMBROKESHIRE FLOATING SUPPORT (six-month period)

Threshold DAS, in partnership with Calan DVS, has collaborated to form the Pembrokeshire Domestic Abuse Service (DAS). Threshold DAS and Cal an DVS are two well-established specialist agencies that have 11 0+ years of combined experience in supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse.

Pembrokeshire DAS is committed to empowering service users to exercise agency in their lives and choose/control the support they receive. The trauma-informed service will be led by the needs and wishes of victims/survivors whilst keeping safety and understanding of risk paramount.

The service supports victims, survivors, and perpetrators (community only) with varying levels of need (including those with higher and more complex needs).

EARLY FAMILY INTERVENTION PROJECT (EFIP)

THRESHOLD DAS Limited believes that the E-FIP project can have had a significant impact in helping to break the cycle of domestic abuse and/or violence, and those affected by it. We recognise that domestic abuse and/or violence is a multi-faceted problem so we strive to equip individuals and their children with the skills they require now, and in the future, in order that they can live independent, productive lives.

As part of this, we know that we must deliver not only support to victims of domestic abuse and/or violence but also challenge and change the behaviours of perpetrators, to ultimately keep individuals and their children safe.

The first step towards ending family violence is for the victims and their children to be able to engage with practitioners they can trust and whom they can confide in. For our profession to remain effective in our work with these vulnerable individuals and their children it is essential that we provide culturally and gender-sensitive skills, which is what E-FIP does.

We believe there is a need to approach domestic abuse and/or violence in a more comprehensive and coordinated way, and to place greater emphasis on preventive and early intervention strategies.

E-FIP includes our "Choices" Perpetrator Programme accredited by RESPECT.

VAWDASV CARMARTHENSHIRE PARTNERS: CHOICES

Threshold DAS received £120,000 to fund the 'CHOICES' element of our Early Family Intervention project for the Dyfed-Powys region, which has enabled the continuation between funding elements. Funding was provided by Dyfed Powys PCC.

The Choices programme runs for approximately 35 weeks and has 6 modules which need to be completed, as well as 1 to 1 facilitator time built in, allowing for those on the programme to self-assess which facilitates their progress. Through this period there have been 2 full time facilitators and 1 woman safety worker.

The programme has maintained a steady approach to supporting the region, taking referrals from as far afield as Milford Haven to Newtown, and from both individuals self-referring as well as NGO's and statutory organisations.

On entering COVID the decision was taken to run the programme online, and after funding was provided for such a large area of Wales both urban and rural, the decision was made to maintain an online presence, allowing to keep the programme available to the whole of the region.

From April 2023 to March 2024 E-FIP recorded the following: -

44 referrals for the Choices programme

36 men were supported, and £Women were supported.

47 referrals for the women's safety worker

38 women were supported

ECHO - CHILDREN IN NEED PROGRAMME

Enhancing Children's Healthy Opportunities (ECHO) is a Children in Need funded project that supports children and young people across a rural and difficult geographical area to access services. The service provides:

The project was put on hold in July 2023 to recruit a new member of staff.

DASH PROJECT (DOMESTIC ABUSE STOPS HERE)

In April 2023 - March 2024: 77 referrals for support were received for the Families First - 'Domestic Abuse Stops Here' project in Llanelli and 69 individuals were supported. The DASH Project is a county wide project in Carmarthenshire between Calan DVS, Carmarthen Domestic Abuse Services Limited and Threshold DAS Limited.

69 Children were supported

55 Adults were supported

55 Families were supported in total

Referrals are received from many partnership agencies.

The project supports children who have witnessed or experienced domestic abuse in the home environment. The support comprises one to one support or sibling/ peer group support for children aged between O - 16 years, undertaken mainly in school. The support is age and ability appropriate for the child and their development needs. The project predominantly helps in the intervention process of families experiencing domestic abuse and works closely with the Team Around the Family (TAF) coordinators.

PROJECT Y • NATIONAL LOTTERY COMMUNITY FUND WALES

'Project Y - the Young People Matter' Programme is a programme of support for children and young people living in Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire.

'PROJECT Y - Young People Matter' Programme enables both children and young people, those who have experienced abuse themselves and those who are experiencing abuse, to address multiple and complex needs within one place. This includes children and young people with substance dependency, those who are self-harming, have suicidal thoughts, individuals with substance or alcohol misuse issues, and those with families experiencing these problems of this nature. Statistics illustrate the correlations between domestic abuse and substance misuse.

Children and young people supported by PROJECT Y have experienced domestic abuse in their family relationships and their own relationships with their girlfriends and boyfriends. Living with domestic abuse behind closed doors often causes children and young people to be closed about their experiences, to put their needs on hold as not to cause more friction' or receive an aggressive response. Most of the children and young people on support with Threshold, have some level of anxiety, some high enough for them not to want to go to school, causing problems eating and sleeping. They can have tummy or chest pain from internalizing their feelings. They can withdraw or act out with anger or confusion. These children and young people are less likely to be able to concentrate in school, make friends, and have the confidence to join clubs, feel safe enough to experience things such as play and relationships which help move through developmental stages. Children experience bedwetting and nightmares. They may have to move home, change schools, losing friends, maybe pets, and the loss of a parent which can be hard to come to terms with. When a child feels they have not been loved in the way they see others loved, they can develop the idea there is something wrong with them; they were to blame.

The funding for Project Y, has allowed us to provide parents with the support that they need to have a better relationship with their child. We have been able to work with children and young people who have behavioural issues, often because of their own experienced of abuse. These children and young people often have issues with emotion regulation and with the help of our project we have been able to show them how to better regulate their feelings and reactions. The children and young people have directly benefited from this, as many of them have reported to us, that they do not like it when they behave in an aggressive way. However, many of them have never learned an alternative way to react to stressful or unsettling situations. We feel we have been able to support children and young people to become more resilient and therefore better at coping with their issues. Staff receive feedback from parents to share their feelings of the changes in their children.

The method of individualised support that we offer, rather than a one size fits all approach means we can build effective relationships with children and young people based on mutual trust, respect and honesty, through which vulnerable children and young people begin to feel more valued, respected and confident in themselves.

ENDING RURAL HOMELESSNESS

In 2023 Threshold DAS secured £1,500,000 Lottery funding for a partnership project with Threshold DAS, Calan DVS, CarmDAS and West Wales DAS, with Threshold as the lead partner. The project will start in April 2024.

EDUCATIONAL PROJECTS

Throughout this period, the learning opportunities were funded by the following projects: -

LIMITLESS

LIMITLESS is funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) under Priority 2, Skills for Growth: SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE 4. It is an educational programme of support for women aged 18 and over who are working or on a zero-hour contract. Women must be living or working in Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Caerphilly, Torfaen, or Blaenau Gwent.

Limitless is made up of three strands.

Strand 1: WEB: Women Exploring Business Programme

The WEB course is designed to inspire women to set up their own businesses. It is an eight-week practical programme that provides women with the tools to set up a service or develop a product. They learn about all aspects of self-employment including marketing, accounts, pricing etc. On day seven they must go out and sell the product or service they have developed. We hire a market stall for them to do this. The programme also allows them to achieve one or two Agored Cymru Qualifications, at a range of academic levels.

Strand 2: WISH: Women's Integrated Support Hub

WISH offers individually tailored support packages to build confidence and self-esteem. WISH offers a large range of courses; some already being delivered, and some based on what women themselves tell us they would like to do. Examples include Volunteering, Community Development, Mindfulness, Developing Personal Confidence and Self Awareness, Pottery, Photography, Retail, Education, Customer Service, Mental Health and Stress, IT, Hospitality and Safeguarding. WISH is open to all women regardless of their backgrounds, needs or abilities. The courses range from Entry Level 3 up to Level 4.

Strand 3: Qualification: Supporting the Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Sector through Volunteering

LIMITLESS developed a qualification at level 2 Award (and we are currently developing the Extended Award), aimed at volunteers working in the sector. This includes survivors and ex-service users but will also be available to those working in the sector who are interested in getting into support work. We hope that it will complement the plans of the VAWDASV team to develop a National Survivor Engagement Framework.

What Limitless Offers:

LIMITLESS works with women who are employed or self-employed, or on a zero hour contract, aged 18 and over who are living or working in Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire, Caerphilly, and Blaenau Gwent, and in the case of Strand 3 In Torfaen.

Limitless ended on 30th April 2023 so only one month was recorded under this financial year.

MOONDANCE

Threshold DAS Limited secured funding form 'Moondance' to provide two members of staff to manager and run the Helping Hands Food Bank and Charity Shop.

HELPING HANDS FOODBANK

The Helping Hands Food Bank has provided food parcels to the very vulnerable in society, those experiencing domestic abuse, and living in poverty. The food parcels are bespoke and dependent on the needs of the individuals, or the families concerned,i.e. those who are vegetarian, who are vegan, diary free, gluten free, the number of adults and children are also considered and their ability to cook, do they have a cooker, a microwave etc.

To all those individuals who access the Helping Hands food bank, a recipe to use the food items provided is given to them with their boxes. We have also built a community food garden at our Llanelli Refuge, any surplus food grown is donated to the food bank. It is good for the refuge ladies to have something to do and to feel ownership of the food garden.

We also provide a range of cooking lessons in our industrial kitchen and all embedded with accredited units and qualifications. Support is also provided for those living in poverty and living on a budget.

The food bank also offers a range of volunteering opportunities and allow those volunteers to access Accredited Agored Cymru training free of charge.

We also provide a range of dog and cat food for those who have animals. From 1st April 2032 to 31st March 2024 the following support was provided by the Helping Hands Food Bank:
